Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a digital influencer, failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirements for an individual of extraordinary ability. The AAO determined that the petitioner's awards (e.g., YouTube award) were not nationally or internationally recognized for excellence, membership in a YouTube community did not require outstanding achievements, and the media publications submitted were not proven to be major media. As the petitioner did not meet at least three of the required criteria, the appeal was dismissed.
